TI  - Cardiac output measurement in critically ill patients: comparison of continuous 
      and conventional thermodilution techniques.

AB  - The purpose of the study was to compare cardiac output (CO) measurement by 
      continuous (CTD) with that by conventional thermodilution (TD) in critically ill 
      patients. In 19 of 20 critically ill patients requiring a pulmonary artery 
      catheterism, 105 paired CO measurements were performed by both CTD and TD. 
      Regression analysis showed that: CTD CO = 1.18 TD CO - 0.47. Correlation 
      coefficient was 0.96. Bias and limit of agreement were -0.8 and 2.4 L.min-1, 
      respectively. When a Bland and Altman diagram was constructed according to 
      cardiac index ranges, biases were -0.2 and -0.3 and -0.8 L.min-1.m-2 and limits 
      of agreement were 0.3, 0.7 and 1.6 L.min-1.m-2 for low (< 2.5 L.min-1.m-2), 
      normal (between 2.5 and 4.5 L.min-1.m-2) and high (> 4.5 L.min-1.m-2) cardiac 
      indexes, respectively. It is concluded that CTD, compared with TD, is a reliable 
      method of measuring CO, especially when cardiac index is < or = 4.5 L.min-1.m-2.
